Canadian Institute in Athens

Allyson Glenn presents her latest series, "Date with Hermes: Journeying between Dreams and Reality," at the Vorres Museum (1 Diadochou Konstantinou, Peania, vorresmuseum.gr) through June 30. The Canadian artist's show delves into human connections, exploring themes of identity, migration, social violence and environmental crises.

In the 1940s, one bank of the Ilisos River in Athens was a large slum, with shacks set up there by refugees who arrived after the 1922 Asia Minor Catastrophe. Alexander Tzonis, an architect and professor emeritus of the Delft University of Technology who grew up nearby, was deeply fascinated with the ingenuity of the community and sought to immortalize it in photos.
